He also killed two people and used deer antler spray to stay relevant….

If he was a true professional he would
Honor his contract. Training camp is
A part of his contract.
—————————-

He is honoring his contract you dummy. He negotiated his leave time prior to signing his current contract.

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:53:26 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2203037#comment-2722280I think for him not being in camp is a mistake and his play will suffer this year because of it… at least in the first half of the season or more if he’s not keeping in shape. Older players go down hill quicker if they’re not keeping on top of their workouts. That’s not even considering getting back into the flow of the game with your fellow players and brushing up on the play book. I think it’s gonna hurt him and the team.

I don’t think there’s a single Falcon who is begrudging this future Hall of Famer’s absence from camp. He’s already established a chemistry with his QB so the absence won’t have too much of an effect. Unlike Favre, whose position as a QB is needed at camp, Tony is respected by his teammates and didn’t hold an entire franchise hostage.

Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:02:06 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2203037#comment-2722150I like the fact that Gonzalez decided not to retire. He is a great player. That said, he needs to sh*t or get off the pot. Get into camp and develop with the team. This setup makes it seem like he is more important than the rest of the team. It may be a good deal for him but it is likely a point of contention from the rest of the team. What he is doing is similar to a coworker that never has to show up on Mondays or Fridays. No matter how good that person may be at their job, everybody else will eventually have issues with it.

Is “using the ipad” really state of the art? They do know that you can buy an iPad at every WalMart on earth, right?
